Nintendo hit us with an update on a handful of Wii and Nintendo DS games today, including fresh details on the Wii version of Punch-Out!!. Perhaps most exciting is unwavering confirmation of "classic" NES-style controls.

Sure, the company has to eat its own dog food and legions of Wii owners are clearly comfortable boxing with a Nunchuk and Wii Remote. But that didn't stop us from nervously anticipating the new Punch-Out!!, which we understood to be motion control-only based on comments from Nintendo.

According to Nintendo of America's press site, the alternate control scheme has the same button layout as the NES controller, using the D-pad to dodge, with the 1 and 2 buttons used to throw punches. Big deal? Maybe we're just excited for the upcoming blister possibilities. So much better than perspiring while gaming.
